i wake and i think
why am i alive
the overwhelming desire
to end it all
is all that i feel

your face pops
into my mind
the memory of you calling me
telling me 
goodbye

we got to you in time
you say
the words from my mouth
stopped you
the emotion you heard
in my voice
the reason you dropped
the knife

if you can't live for yourself, then live for everyone who's life you make better by just being alive

and so
i take my own advice
i put down the pills

even if i didn't conquer my demons
at least
i conquered today

The advice I gave was said to me by someone that I used to know. At this point in time I realize that it's not always that simple. For some this advice works and for some it doesn't. You are all beautiful and loved. My vote may not count towards much but I think you all make the world a better place. Just take life one day at a time.
